Flip the Script

Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples, and Fertility Centers of Illinois proudly supports National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) during April 22-28 with RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. NIAW aims to flip the script by bringing infertility awareness to the forefront to break barriers and remove stigmas.

In honor of NIAW, we are offering several events, webinars, and promotions to educate and build infertility awareness. It is our mission to help others realize their dream of having a family. We believe that sharing helpful information and advocating on behalf of those with infertility will change the national conversation around a disease that affects one in eight couples.

Are you a physician needing to refer a patient during NIAW? Follow this link to get started.
